I think I’ve found just the thing! German company Alape has a collection called Insert designed for style-savvy homeowners like yourself who want a practical sink and storage solution for their small bathrooms. The saying ‘big things come in small packages’ is certainly true in this case. 

Insert consists of a dish basin in white or matt anthracite brown, which is inserted into a matching base cabinet with storage. The vanity unit hides all pipe work and can also be specified with the basin positioned to the left or right, to make tight spaces even easier to get around. There’s even the option of having an integrated towel holder for added practicality and a corner version if space is extremely limited. Alape’s contemporary Inside range is also worth checking out if you have a petite space and want a high style storage solution.

Designed by Busalt Design, Alape’s Insert vanities are available as wall-hung or freestanding units, from £441. 024 7671 7129 www.alape.com
